Old style building looks very impressive and although not luxurious, is very clean and comfortable. Excellent location - a five minute walk from the train station and close to attractions like Hans Christian Anderson's house.

Breakfast was complete and delicious. Also neat detail to have takeaway coffee cups! we had a comfy bed and a bathtub, so that was a plus! the location is perfect to walk around the city, neat central station, the cool street food market and beer bar Mikeller.

After luckily finding a parking spot right out the front we were welcomed by a young man who checked us in and explained about breakfast, the wifi and asked if we needed any information about the city. Great service. The room was large, warm and the beds were very comfortable and clean. Could not fault it at all. The breakfast had many options, hot and cold options along with fruits and the option to make your own pancakes. We enjoyed our stay here a lot.

In an elegant 19th-century building, this hotel features modern rooms with luxury beds, flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi. Kongens Have Park and Odense Castle are just around the corner.

Originally opened in 1897, First Hotel Grand was often the preferred choice of Danish royalty and nobility. Its individually designed rooms now feature updated, classic décor for today’s VIP guests.

The hotel’s French-style restaurant, Brasserie Grand, serves a generous breakfast buffet and traditional bistro cuisine. The intimate hotel bar features charming interiors and a private library.

Odense Central Train Station and the Hans Christian Andersen Museum are within a 5-minute walk of Hotel Grand. The Vestergade pedestrian shopping street is just 500 feet away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.

I did not like the crowded breakfast with much to many guest related to the restaurant capacity, staff and food supply. A quite and excellent breakfast was actual what we have hoped to experiences which it was two years ago at the exact same day of the year. After our story about the stay at hotel has been more about the bad breakfast experience than the excellent service by the staff at the reception.
I like the kindness of the reception staff; smiling, speedy, and caring. The hotel's location is excellent when visiting family and usually it is easy to park close to the hotel.

Smell in the bathroom was terrible, we decided to air the room upon arrival with the bathroom door closed (=smell came from the bathroom).
Very good location and nice staff. We needed to check out very early, a lunch package was prepared with no extra costs (breakfast was included). The facility looks very nice.

“Extra of everything possible :(”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
They charged of everything extra. We travel a lot with the same combo: a small child and a small dog. Nearly everywhere hotels are providing a baby bed without a problem and we rarely had to pay anything for our dog either (and if we had, it was that they had brought a bed for a dog, drinking bowl and some dog treats). Here we had to pay 26 euros (!!!!) of a dog and 13 euros (!!!) for a baby bed. We felt like being ripped off. Of course you get to know these only after booking the hotel (in our case we also booked on the road 1,5hours before arriving so we didn’t really have an opportunity to change). Also, this hotel is not friendly for strollers and people with disabilities. Lots of stairs even in one floor. Actually, you have to climb up at least 7 steps to even reach the reception. Room was good and big but the bathroom wasn’t on the same level. I definitely didn’t find it a four star level.
Hotel is really nicely located and beautiful in an old building. Staff was friendly and breakfast really good too.

Room smelled of smoke although faintly.. 3rd bed was just against the radiator... For the price perhaps a better room that could accommodate the extra bed more comfortably would have been fair. Bath tub was quite damaged and bits of enamel were missing...
-Staff was friendly -Room had no carpet and was also quite clean -It was nice and quiet over night -it was very convenently located in town -Restaurant was excellent... Food was so good!

“A bit pricey but worth the money”
- • Business trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 1 night
The room's lighting was a bit too dark for my taste, but that's just my preference. It's a non-issue, really.
The place is very well-kept. The room is clean, especially the bathroom. It had everything we needed. The breakfast had a lot of good selection, both warm and cold food. You can even make your own crepe. You also get your own coffee pot on your table. The beds are comfortable. It's near a convenience shop and some restaurants. I left my phone charger after checking out and they sent me an email informing me and gave me options how to retrieve it (I can have it shipped to my address for an additional fee which is understandable.)

Even though we booked a room for 2 adults and a child we were charged for an extra bed. This seems to be booking.com trying to look cheaper than other sites, but it is obviously cheating - and not acceptable.
Our room was quite big. Breakfast room was a bit crowded - Saturday morning people had to wait in queue. Nice breakfast tho.
